The mouse is the result of a Microsoft Research program dubbed "Mouse 2.0". The project detailed different designs for a prototype multi-touch mouse and one of the prototypes looks similar to the current Microsoft Arc Mouse. Microsoft officials published a research PDF paper in October 2009 which contained pictures of a possible multi touch mouse. Microsoft's hardware twitter account tweeted two different pictures over the past week (see below).
According to an online price listing, the mouse which will do multi-touch will cost you $69.95. Yes, you are right, this price matches to the price tags found on Apple’s Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad. It remains to be seen how exactly will it look like and how smoothly will it perform.
